02 - Choose a large serving platter or board as the base for arrangement.

04 - Create distinct, color-blocked sections by grouping each vegetable and fruit type together, alternating vibrant colors and textures around the dips.

06 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Top Suggestions:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required—you're just celebrating vegetables and fruits in their most vibrant form, which means more time with your guests and less time stressed in the kitchen.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free, so everyone at the table feels included and nourished, no matter their dietary choices.
  • The colors alone make people smile before they even taste anything—it's a feast for the eyes that tastes as good as it looks.
02 -
  • Prep your vegetables and fruits as close to serving time as possible—this is the one non-negotiable rule. Cut vegetables and fruits more than a couple hours ahead, and they start to lose their snap and shine.
  • Dry everything thoroughly after washing. Even tiny droplets of water will make your carefully arranged platter look sad and droopy within minutes.
  • Choose ripe but still slightly firm fruits and vegetables. Overripe produce will soften and lose color quickly; underripe won't have the sweetness and flavor you're after.
03 -
  • Arrange your platter on a chilled plate or board if you have space in the fridge—cold serving surfaces keep everything crisper longer.
  • Make your dips first and let them sit for at least fifteen minutes; flavors meld and deepen in that quiet time.
  • If you're making this the night before, prep all ingredients separately and store them in airtight containers. Assemble only an hour or two before guests arrive to keep everything at peak freshness.
